As the senior segment of North Carolina's population grows, more and more seniors discover that their opportunities for or interest in automobile travel are decreasing. Yet, seniors' interest in travel is at an all-time high, whether to visit dispersed relatives and friends or to take vacations that were postponed during working years. For really long distances, the speed of air travel is unequaled, but for medium-distance trips seniors are ofter put off by long airport waits, safety screening, tightly-packed seats, baggage fees, and other inconveniences. Fortunately, another option is available for North Carolina seniors – the train. This book aims to inform you about train service in North Carolina and encourage you to use it to satisfy some of your travel needs, whether within the state or to neighboring states.
